If guns are banned, then only politicians (with their exemptions) and criminals (who really care for the law) will have guns!

I dont want to be a victim or much worse a statistic. People should open their eyes to the truth. Criminality has been on the rise and our law enforcement cannot protect the people. I dont want to encounter a criminal and stare at the barrel of his gun and beg for my life or the lives of my loved ones. Why should the government take away my right to protect myself and my family? I say NO to the proposed permanent gun ban.
Hell NO! GUN BAN=HAppy Days for Criminals!
All law abiding citizen should keep gun in their home for protection. The police can't be there 24/7 to watch and protect you. In USA we teach young kids as old as ten to use gun. Guns don't kill people do. My kids know how to use guns rifle and pistol.
Permanent Gun Ban is definitely NOT the solution to crime rate... Bad guys don't observe gun ban, so why the Responsible Gun Owners made to suffer?
USA has a Free trade policy regarding arms, do they have high crime rate because of that???
Let the people choose whether to bear arms or not...
Please visit www.progun.ph for the real gun ban death figures! please do not deceive us with your ERVI (Election related violent incidents) the PNP must include "THE WHOLE PICTURE"
GUN BAN a success? Think again. There are more than 500 cases of gun related killings to date. Election related or not, still, it's a failure. The PNP's claim about the reduction of gun related incidence is mere public deception. Magkano lagay ng IANSA sa inyo para magpadikta kayo?
Mas maraming nasasaktan at namamatay sa motor kesa sa baril.
Add a comment...The right of a living creature to defend itself is a right granted by nature. It is not a privilege granted by law. Personal protection is a personal responsibility, not that of a cop who makes less than the average wage in an already stressful job. Your choice is to kill the killer or let the killer kill you. If you let the killer kill you, then that killer is free to kill and kill again. And you are an accessory to each subsequent crime. All because you did not value human life enough to provide a way to defend your own. This is not theory or opinion. It just is.
Ban criminals not guns of good guys!
Can the government guarantee the protection of my family 24/7 ?
The proponents of the gunban should wake up from their utopian dreams and be awake from the stench of crime & corruption plaguing our society.
NO to foreign intervention. NO to IANSA. NO to gunban.
Molon labe
Yes to our God-given right to keep and bear arms for self defense indoors and outdoors!!!
No to gun ban of any kind!!!

if you remove the rights to carry arms, you remove the right to live without fear
big NO..
Definitely NO!!
a billion NO.....TOTAL CHECK POINT NLANG BAWAT BARANGAY.........
NO NO NO
200,000 STRONG PNP
Cannot Protect 80++++ MILLION FILIPINOS
ban the gun ban...!!!
NO to Gun Ban! If the government is serious in fighting crime,there is no need to us,responsible gun owners, to have a gun..The problem is, the police is inutile in solving simple crimes! Or they are just lazy doing their job! I have many experiences that police DO NOTHING! So why rely on them??
A total gun ban is unrealistic and not feasible within the Philippines. While other countries and organizations such as IANSA (International Action Network on Small Arms) may advocate such a ban, the conditions prevailing in other countries as well as the Western European countries where IANSA has its base, are different from the Philippines.
Unlike the Western countries, the Philippines suffers from rampant crime in the form of robberies and thefts, kidnapping, drug violence, terrorism in the South, Communist insurgency, and political and profession related killings. In spite of the best efforts of the Philippine National Police (PNP) and the Armed Forces (AFP), these crimes have not been curbed or lessened over the years. If anything, the crime situation in the country has gotten worse.
The mandate of the PNP is to preserve general state of peace and order. The PNP are not mandated to protect individual citizens on a 24 hour basis, seven days a week. Stated otherwise, the police cannot be present everywhere and always to protect its citizens. For this reason, the more affluent Filipinos hire private security guards for their homes and subdivisions or personal bodyguards for the even wealthier. However, for the ordinary citizens who are not as moneyed, a total gun ban would leave them totally defenseless against criminal elements.
Criminals don't care about any gun ban. Disarming us will make us more vulnerable to crime, furthermore, the government cannot provide police protection at all times.
NO NO NO NO!!!
Guns are made kill??? Then how about these as well:
Knives are also made to kill. How many people die by the knife every year? Start lobbying for TOTAL KNIFE BAN!!!
The car is a modern version of the chariot, a carriage designed to make efficient use of cavalry and increase enemy kills. How many people die by the car every year? Start lobbying for a TOTAL CAR BAN!!!
Before any weapon was introduced, the fist was the primary weapon used to kill. How many people died by the fist? Hell, let's start chopping off everyone's hand!!!
WE ARE NOT CRIMINALS. SHOW SOME RESPECT. RESPECT OUR RIGHT TO CHOSE THE MEANS FOR SELF-PRESERVATION.
AdThomas Jefferson: "The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes....Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man. Thomas Jefferson's "Commonplace Book," 1774-1776, quoting 18th century criminologist Cesare Beccaria in Chapter 40 of "On Crimes and Punishment", 1764. d a comment...
No to permanent gun ban! for one main reason, who can possibly protect our love ones especially my children from lunatics of our society... the police? barangay tanods? when they themselves can't give protection to their community, how do you protect your selves from criminals who has bad intentions to your family.... goverment should give extra effort and concentration to those who are carrying loose firearms. pano naman din yung mga kaibigan natin na nasa gun industry? they have families also to provide.
NO to total gun ban
YES to more police presence/checkpoints
GUN BAN means open invitation to all criminals that the season for hunting is now officially open...
BIG NO TO GUN BAN...
NO!! lawless elements, hold uppers, kidnappers, rapists, robbers, killers, maniacs will thrive if they know that their targets are not armed... its like proposing that nobody is allowed to put up gates and fences in their homes. Fiesta ito for the bad guys!! do you believe the police can protect you 24/7? in some cases are you protected from them??!
Guns don't kill people, people kill people. Why should a law abiding citizen have his rights abrogated because of a minority population of criminals? Laws that take away rights are not good laws. Enforce the laws already there. From my point of view enforced traffic laws would save mor elives than guns take away.
Big no!
NO TO GUN CONTROL!!! NO TO TYRANY!!!
Mandy Pacheco and his minions should relocate to Maguindanao if they want a total gun ban. Better yet, they should move to antarctica where he is 100% safe. No neighbors, no guns, no problem. Exactly the kind of society they want.
no to gun ban, who will protect to our love one.
An armed man is a citizen. An unarmed man is a subject. No to Permanent Gunban
No to gun ban. We are not criminals.
no, kasi d naman tau kayang protektahan ng mga police
NO to permanent gun ban.
definitely NO
It will be a big, big mistake. Let's think of the citizens 1st, not personal interests. How can it even be a thought when statistically proven, our law enforcement is not capable of safe guarding the citizens. The Philippines is not ready for something like this. Can't believe we have bird brains out there leading us.
no to gun ban,simply because our PNP can't protect us 24/7.
No to permanent gun ban! eh pano ung mga enforcer na nasa civilian group pano ung mga ginagamit to sa self defense kung delikado siya! hindi nga kayang i gun ban ung mga masasamang loob at mga malalaking tao dyan na nang gugulo ng mga pulis eh! hindi naman dapat palaging i asa sa mga pulis mas mabagal pa nga minsan sa mga bata yang mga yan!
dapat gumawa ng emotional and mental test kung masyadong agresibo o may tama ang utak tangalan na ng karapatan! lalo na ung mga mayayabang (example subukan nilang maliitin o asarin kapag yan nanakit wala na kagad yan)
no to permanent gun ban po!
a gun ban only bans legit guns....
In a third world country like us, gun ban for the responsible and legit is a real nonsense.
NO to permanent gun ban!
David won against the bad goliath because David was armed, I know there was no gun at that time but in our time we also have goliath in the form of robbers, kidnappers, carnappers, killers, rapist, private armies so how can we protect ourselves if we don't have a gun or there is a gun ban?
Do lawless criminals respect gun ban?
Do police stay with us at all times?
Every Law Abiding Citizens has the right to defend Himself against those who wants to Harm or Kill him/her and their Loved-Ones....Kaya nga some of us are studying Self-defense because we value life .....
NO to permanent gun ban.
If this thing happens only criminals will have guns, how about us law abiding citizens who just want to protect ourselves and our kin, we have to agree that the police and military even on 24 hour duty cannot protect us all.... sila nga outgunned na.. tayo pa kaya...
gun ban does not work. give us the right to keep and bear arms.
No for me.
No.
There have been no cases anywhere in the world where firearms prohibition has effectively prevented criminals from obtaining weapons. What makes them think it would work in the Philippines?
Rather than appealing to emotion and scaremongering, I would like the anti-gun groups to come up with actual facts to back up their claims. No more manipulated statistics. Just come up with an example of where banning guns have kept them out of criminal hands.
gun ban only for illegal gun owners not for legal owners
Freedom!!!!!!!
no to permanent gun ban!
A Big No. Gun ban doesn't make sense.
voted
permanent gunban will only affect responsible gunowners....
why?
lawless elements carry unlisenced weapon!
@Arvin.... nalalapit na ang pag-diriwang ng anniversaryo ng INDEPENDENCE DAY ng PInas.. Ibig sabihin ipagdiriwang natin ang kasarinlan ng ating mahal na bayan, kasarinlang na tinatamasa natin lahat ngayon, pati na ng mga anak natin. Nakamit natin ang kasarinlang ito laban sa mananakop na dayuhan, sa pamamagitan ng pagkikipag-laban gamit ang mga sandata, tulad ng baril, itak, kanyon.
Nagkaroon ng demokrasya at kalayaan ang mga Pilipino dahil sa pakikibaka na ginamitan ng dahas at armas...
Pwede ko bang gamitin yun bilang patunay syo?
Permanent Gun Ban? YES... only to the lawless elements, but not to the responsible FA owners.
if the gov't can assure it's people that they can protect them 24/7 from criminals, only then should they implement total gun ban.
Stricter gun laws is the key and not total gun ban.
im totaly not agree on that papanu nlng kami mga adik sa airsoft hindi na kami makakapag laro nun pag permanent gunbun ang pinas anu nlng ang pag lilibangan namin ok lng sana kung yung mga real gun lng pero pag isasama nyo pati mga airsoft gun TOTALY NOOOOOOOOOOOOO ako jan
no to gun ban! gun ban affects only legitimate gun owners and not criminals who do not respect the ban.
i do not own a gun. would love to but can't coz i have children at home. for people who do have guns it serves as a protection provided they are responsible owners. if they have something wrong in the head it serves as a tool for instilling fear in others. gun owners here's my challenge! show the world ( the philippines) that guns can be a tool for maintaining peace and not war.
i don' think total gun ban will lessen if not eradicate gun related crimes because most of the guns used in these incidents are illegal or unregistered. The PNP should instead intensify their checkpoints and other anti criminality campaign so as to weed out people who carry guns without authority or permit since they are the ones who usually do the crimes.
say NO to crime! say NO to a permanent or extended gunban!
total gun ban would only ban guns that are duly licensed! criminals and bad guys never obey total gunban. what verzosa should do is implement is increase the ratio of policemen to citizen, solve crimes so that the number of criminals would be reduced and police visibility. sumama na din sya sa pagpapatrol kung hindi kaya ng mga tauhan nya
NOOOOOOO to permanent gun ban!!
kung mananalo ang YES!...ito ang headlines....THANK YOU FOR DISARMING LAW ABIDING CITIZENS, IT MAKES OUR JOB'S A LOT EASIER - The Criminals
Why should bad guys the only one to have guns, when PNP cannot protect 80 million filipinos? how about good guys don't they have the right to protect themselves with guns?
a BIG NO to permanent gun ban!
permanent gun ban!!! that is absurb! if the PNP can protect every citizen i agree...but i dont think so,every filipino has the right to defend themselves and their love ones from lawless elements....
Think of it in these simple ways:
When our government, such as it is right now, is able to protect me and my family effectively and consistently from lawless criminals and drug addicts who more often than not are carrying ILLEGAL weapons,then I will start leaving my pistol at home.
And reflect on this, if your home is invaded by a group of bad guys intent on doing you and your family harm, rape your wife/girlfriend/daughter/niece, steal or destroy all your expensive possessions and your only recourse is to use a gun to stop them, wouldn't you? Or would you rather try to 'talk them out of it' by asking them nicely to leave? Would you call the police knowing that it will take them at the very least 30 minutes to reach your home, hoping in vain they will save you and your family?
Banning and severely limiting the legal use of firearms will only make people go underground with their weapons since the fear from criminal activity will always remain. Hence, even more firearms will become unlicensed. The problem then becomes bigger rather than the opposite. More illegal guns will become unregulated.
WTF....Bad guys don't have permits on their guns....
We have the rights to defend ourselves....!!!!

Di naman baril ang kailangan natin para sa security. Implement strictly all security laws in the land. Sometimes kasi yung mga nagpapatupad ng law ang nakakatakot. Most of all dapat si Jesus ang nasa puso ng lahat.
di naman lahat ng may baril yumayabang.. may mga mayabang na talaga kahit wala pang baril, gaya ko... :)
ako, dalawang beses na napasok sa life threatening situation at ako ay nagtamo ng sugat, pero nakapag exercise pa din ako ng restraint... tama post ng iba sa baba na higpitan ang pagdala ng baril dahil dami may baril na wala sa tamang katinuan...
tanggalan mo ng baril mga may lisensya, yung mga walang papel may baril pa din, palagay niyo tama??? malay niyo, may makasabay kayo na licensed gun holder habang kinacarjack kayo.. palagay niyo di kayo tutulungan ng may dala????
kita niyo nung gun ban, mga licensed gun holders walang dalang baril pero tuloy tuloy pa din ang mga gun related crimes... although bumaba nga, kahit papano, pero murphy's law lang...

Di naman siguro maganda e total gun ban yan. In your case Vivian sa Middle East, what about the country of Israel? they are all Citizens Army both male and female carrying guns in there homes to protect their country they are all Reservist. Ang blema lang nito is daming talamak na mga illegal bintahan nang mga baril na walang lisensya at walang mga Disiplina sa Sarili. Maganda nito higpitan ang mga illegal.
I can understand why criminals want this to happen. It's like saying "rob my house I am defenseless."
NO gun ban. Implement better justice instead.
only those with PTCOR and other LEGAL carriers are gonna be affected.. the underworld will celebrate this stupid law when approved.. F***IN' IDIOTS
Gawan nila ng paraan para sa mga practical shooters before I agree..
Higpitan nila ang gun registration..
Eh mga barbarian insurgents sa Mindanao, hindi sila susunod sa batas so wa epek ung total gun ban na yan sa labanan.. Just make this take effect after the war para effective talaga..
sana rin visible ang mga pulis s kalye lalo n s gabi
tama. pwede naman di ba? sa mga middle east countries bawal baril..bakit napapasunod nila mga tao? dapat lang tlga magkaroon ng higpit at disiplina ang gobyerno natin tungkol sa batas (total gun ban) na yan. yumayabang ang mga taong may baril at ang masama marami ang napapahamak sa bandang huli. sana lang maging seryoso ang gobyerno natin sa pagpapatupad ng batas na yan. konting disiplina ang kailangan para umunlad naman ang bansa natin. lugmok pa rin tayo sa kahirapan, nahuhuli na tayo.
guns are made to kill.. dont bother saying for sports and all.. it still kills
i think this should apply to Mindanao only...by doing that, peace in Mindanao is not impossible...
it doesnt matter wether yes or no...it's a matter of SELF DESCIPLINE on how to carry and use a gun!!! SOME PEOPLE ARE REALLY ABUSADO!!! THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT THE LAW!!!
If you outlaw the gun...only outlaws will have guns
Guns dont kill people ... people kill people!
Just imagine defending yourself or your loved ones against a group of 3 or more intoxicated and violent individuals.
that's not really the solution,.. to make a peaceful Nation eliminate Corruption and everything will follow.,as simple as that!
TOTAL GUN BAN? like the saying goes..there are no stupid guns just stupid people carrying guns! - Stricter LAWS and IMPLEMENTATION should do it.. banning it would only result to underground distribution and smuggling and more income opportunities for the lawless power mongers
"The Government shOULD also CONSider The Ban of ToY gUns froM Department Stores and Other Retail outlets!"
there are really those who are resposible
Para sa mga naniniwala na kaya pang umunlad at maging matahimik ang pinas, mga mayayaman, maykaya, o mahihirap man ng pilipino na tulad ko, pagbabago at paglawak ng pananaw para sa ating mga kapanginabangan, isang boto para sa kaayusan ng Pilipinas.
kasabihan na mayabang kapag may baril. may ibang bansa nga walang mga baril ang pulis nila pero konti lng ang bilang ng crime sa buong bansa nila, samantalang d2, geabe ndi na bago kung may patayan or barilan kapag nanood ka ng balita!
